Why do i lose balane when i close my eyes?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Balance and eyes: There are 3 systems that provide our brain with information in order to keep our balance: inner ear, vision, and sensation from our feet. A person needs two of the three to be working well to keep balance. Many diabetics fall at night because of poor visibility and poor sensation in their feet. Our eyes provide visual input to the brain about our position.
